In the meantime former Vice President joe biden making his first inperson appearance since the pandemic began, Vice President biden wearing a mask as he headed to Veterans Memorial park nearby. Mr. Biden and his wife lying a wreath there in the honor of Fallen Heroes this memorial day. A speech an hour ago the president praised military members for heading to the front lines of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Our nation and the world have been engaged with a new formal battle against a new, invisible enemy. Once more the men and women of the United States military have answered the call to duty and raced into danger. President back at the white house now for the rest of the day, Mark Meredith on the north lawn, hi, mark. Good afternoon leland, President Trump delivering remarks at Baltimore Square henry and he was out there with the first lady. The president not only praising the efforts of men and women who served in the u. S. Over past wars, but also the current effort to battle the coronavirus. Tens of thousands of Service Members and National Guardsmen are on the front lines of our war against this terrible virus, caring for patience, delivering critical supplies, and working night and day to safeguard our citizens. Earlier this morning the president first lady made a trip to Arlington National cemetery to visit the tomb of the unknown soldier. The cemetery remains close to the general public because of the coronavirus. Today the President Trump suggesting the Republican NationalConvention May not happen in charlotte, North Carolina. He stood to max out there will be a convention but the city may have to change and upset with the democratic governor over health restrictions. He said the governor must be working better they must be immediately given an answer by the governor as to whether or not the space will be allowed to be fully occupied. If not, we will be reluctantly forced to find with all the Economic Development and another National Convention site. The Vice President mike pence wade on on this on fox friends. Speak with these National Conventions literally take many months to organize and prepare and you know, there are states around the country. We think of texas, florida, georgia, the last two states i visited last week have made tremendous progress on reopening. North carolina governor, he is firing back in a statement sayings state Health Officials are working with our infancy and reviewing plans to make decision about whole ohmic how to hold the convention in charlotte but right now, it is unclear when a final decision could be made, but legal and come at the convention is less than 100 days out. So what should happen pretty fast. We will get into the politics in a moment but mark, you and i were on air saturday and sunday as the president headed out to his golf course for a couple of rounds. We got a lot of flak on the up for twitter, people talking about what he said for president obama who golfed as well. How is the president responding today . Twitter is not only the kind place and we saw a lot of criticism after President Trump made those trips saturday and sunday his golf club in virginia. The First Time Since early march but now he is addressing that criticism had on where else on twitter writing some stories about the fact that in order to get outside and perhaps even a little exercise. I played golf over the beacon. The fake and totally corrupt and whos made it sound like an in mortal sin. I knew this would happen the president the same set of tweets criticized president obama for golfing towards his presidency. And something we have seen President Trump talk about over the years, leland. Certainly when president obama would golf, President Trump would have a lot to say about the candidate trump. Mark meredith north one of the white house, back to you, thanks. Now in phase one of the reopening process easing up on a number of restrictions just in time for memorial day, large crowds flocking to beaches and other public spaces over the weekend urged to follow social distancing rules during the holiday under the new normal. Phil keating with more, phil come are they practicing safe spacing and social distancing or not . Today they are, and take a look behind me, social distancing guidelines not being broken or disregarded today. It is a full on cats and dogs all day long rain event here at cocoa beach altar central florida, including south florida as well. So it is a full on, memorial day washout. But sunday, a group size crowd came out and jammed the beach the second day. A lot of tourists who drove in other states here as well as locals. The police clearly yearning to get out of the house. People clearly yearning to get out of the house and back to traditional free coronavirus memorial day activities. For the most part groups and families seem to be doing a relatively good job abiding by the social distancing guidelines, but that was not always the case as the crowds got bigger. The room on the sand got smaller. Sunny so from cocoa beach up to Daytona Beach, a lot of people turned out. Police in Daytona Beach overwhelmed at times with the crowd blocking traffic, grouped together tightly. Disregarding all that we have been advised to do for the past ten weeks. People did get out beyond the beaches. Sydney springs, at the restaurants resumed operations with temperatures station for the customers, mass recommendations and distancing. And florida had the ends with a couple of aquariums in the tampa area which have reopened, the florida aquarium in tampa and shown known case of marine life. Both with numbers reduced to allow distance between groups. Fort lauderdale will be opening its beaches and hotels for the very First Time Since midmarch tomorrow. That will leave just miami beach, which is still close to sand there to serve today, this weekend. But next monday, june 1st, miami beach will reopen its beaches as well as the hotels, by anyone to access the beach must arrive Wearing Masks. Arthel. Arthel you know where i talk to you, the heavy rain is definitely the great equalizer. Okay, all right. There is plenty of room for you and leland. Arthel we will meet you down there soon, how about a couple of days . Alall right phil keating, thank you. I dont even care about the words in the lip services, but the best apology is actually a black agenda and real policy commitment to black. Leland after former Vice President joe biden apologized for a comment he made about black voters on charlemagne shown. Biden said he shouldnt have been so cavalier when he said this in an interview that aired on friday. If you have a problem figuring out if you are for me or trump, then you aint black. Leland with that we bring in david rucker, senior political correspondent, david good to see you as always. Thank you for spending the weekend holiday with us. The New York Post says this is a deplorables moment for joe biden, agree . Well, time will tell, joe biden is a little bit different than Hillary Clinton. When Hillary Clinton uttered a gap late in the campaign, confirmed everybodys worst instincts about her, especially when it came to a lot of suburban and soft republicans who didnt like President Trump and think candidate donald trump but werent sure if they could vote for Hillary Clinton. Those things basically told them, i was right. Shes just a bridge too far no matter what i think about trump. I think former Vice President biden has a lot more personal goodwill. What people have thought about him over his years in politics particularly because he was a very loyal Vice President to the nations first africanamerican president to give him some room to weather. But obviously, they would rather this not happen. Use all Vice President biden quickly apologize. I have to say, leland, for a campaign that often looks like its not moving on all cylinders at least during the democratic primaries which turned out not to matter, the fact that they were able to quickly apologize and quickly move on shows that there is operational, the operation has been elevated a bit. They understood what they were dealing with and they didnt want to give it too much time to fester. Leland what do you make of some of the africanamerican women conceivably on the vp shortlist based on some of the things that former Vice President has said coming out sort of saying we need to move on. We need to push this behind us. The apology was enough et cetera. Do those kind of endorsements mean enough to put us behind or something the voters to work through . I think some voters will have to work through it come obviously the president s campaign is trying to make sure the former Vice President will never live it down. But i think key elements of the party come together and say nothing to see here, we understand who this man is, lets move on because we have bigger fish to fry commit is no different how we have seen Top Republicans come together and President Trump may have tweeted this or said this. We know what matter is, the policies and if he really cares about america, lets move on. So these sorts of you dont lose your party, that is obviously a big deal. Look my think over time the Vice President has plenty of time to sort of prove his bona fide with minorities to vote democrat and they just want to have enough of a reason. I think what is key for bidens campaign is not to take these voters for granted appear they need to show up on a policy leg and they need to not act as though, obviously there is nowhere else for you to go. When you treat voters like that s leland along those lines, we need to see a black agenda et cetera. We will see what the Biden Campaign rolls out, we move this to the conversation about the rnc in North Carolina. This is a quote from the governor of North Carolina talking about how he will be guided by science after President Trump said that he might move the rnc out of North Carolina. State Health Officials working with a currency will review the plan to make a decision how to hold a convention in charlotte. David, was this arguing for the next call so to speak or was this a legitimate threat you think by the president to move the rnc with a logistical, heavy lift to a nightmare . Well, the president may have meant it as a legitimate threat. He usually says what he means. But they have spent over a year planning this convention. When you plan these conventions, leland, as you know this is not like a normal event. There is a reason why they picked this site so far out. They basically set up a separate corporation, if you will have spent all their time raising money, planning logistics, the secret service and so the president just wants to give a speech accepting the nomination in an arena full of people, there are other states where he can do that in the day of the week. Leland mike pence was talking about texas georgia florida in a sound about right. I want to get your answer on this real quick. North carolina the president won by a little more than 3 , 3. 7 . How critical is having the convention in North Carolina for the republicans to continue to keep it red . Welcome i think we should look at it like this. Had they chosen somewhere else for the convention, i dont think it would matter that much. Potentially yanking the convention costing people business, time and money after the planning and so many states whether democratic or republican governors beginning to open up my think it might cause a little bit of a loom. But at the end of the day, they are likely to leave it in North Carolina because so many states are opening up. A lot of the states where the Vice President talked about moving, georgia he probably means atlanta or something similar. A lot of democratic mayors, citys counsel and then you have another layer of political resistance potentially to move the convention. Leland excellent point, great analysis come appreciated come all the best. Leland, thank you.

Liberty. Leland welcome back. A u. S. District court judge ed sullivan has taken the highly unusual step of hiring an attorney to represent him. This in an Appeals Court reviewing his decision to not immediately grant the Justice Departments request to dismiss its case against former National Security advisor Michael Flynn. Gillian turner live in d. C. With the latest in the saga appeared just when you think something you havent figured out, you get another strange twist like this. And it is this just that, leland. A new twist in this unfolding case that legal experts say has really followed a highly, highly unusual passed since day one. The foreign National Security advisor Michael Flynn. And u. S. District judge Emmet Sullivan has hired a trial lawyer to appeal to a court why to dismiss the case against flynn. That is something the Justice DepartmentJustice Department already recommended earlier this month. The d. C. Court of appeals is giving judge sullivans handling of the case a closer look. They have ordered him to explain why hes its going against the grain by appointing the retired judge to his case. The congressman doug collins who sits on house judiciary says this is unprecedented, take a listen. You have a judge she was offering outside of frankly the parameters of a normal judge in this kind of case so if it goes forward and there is more action to force his hand, he is looking at his counsel a guest to make sure hes doing what he thinks he should be doing. But right now, it is just wrong. Judge sullivans attorney, wilkinson who reportedly joined the case officially this week. Wilkinson is a prominent d. C. Attorney who prosecuted mcveigh for the Oklahoma City bombing and multiple people connected to the email and just worked with Justice Brett kavanaugh during his confirmation hearing. Now the legal sources tell us it is highly, highly unusual for a district judge like sullivan to hire an outside attorney to help explain his legal rationale and his legal thinking as the case is unfolded. His response is due a from tod today. Leland. Leland fascinating twist and turns in this you have been covering for the past couple of years, gillian turner, thanks. Arthel. Arthel all right, leland, we will get more from Matt Whitaker acting attorney general. Thank you for joining us. Lets jump right in. So here it is, Emmett Sullivan said he wanted time to review whether the immediate dismissal of Michael Flynns case was legal or ethically appropriate. So how is this judicial overreach on the part of the judge who is presiding over the case . Why would he need a personal attorney . What is the potential legal jeopardy . This is unprecedented in my expanse and ive served in the u. S. Attorney and acting chief of staff of the department of justice. What i see
